Cat Obsession

Self-Indulgence

Posted by on Jun 30, 2008 in Cat Obsession, Monochrome, Photography | 18 comments

Although I try to publish those photos that I think others may enjoy seeing, sometimes I practice self-indulgence. That is usually the case with my cat photos. In bad weather when I cannot go out for pictures, I choose my favorite indoor subjects: The Basil, Rosemary, and Echo. (The first two are shown above. Echo, our third and oldest cat, was probably asleep somewhere.) This photograph was taken several years ago with a much older camera whose settings were not familiar to me, hence the lack of clarity. Still, I can’t resist their pose or the expressions on their faces.

Handsome Basil

The Basil is quite proud of his looks — and for good reason.

“Be honest,” Basil says. “Do I have tuna in my teeth?”

Sweet and Innocent…Or an Olsen Twin?

Nope! I haven’t lost track of days. This is just a bonus Sunday post, since I referenced this photo in a post on my regular blog and it seemed a good time to post it on here, too.

Sometimes Echo startles me with how young he appears, but much of the time he shows every minute of his 12½ years. Which is why I love when I capture him like this. To further emphasize his youthful appearance, I desaturated this photo somewhat. Don’t let his age fool you, though — he thinks he’s hot stuff.

Okay, I know this sounds weird, but for some reason, in this photo he bears a slight resemblance to one of the Olsen twins, and ever since I noticed that about thirty seconds ago it’s been freaking me out somewhat. Maybe it’s the huge, pleading eyes. Is it just me? I’m really, really hoping so.

Echo Upside Down

Sometimes the world looks better from a different angle. Or so says Echo.
